March 15, 2013Guest Host: Scott Shafer. News Panel: CITY COLLEGE OF SAN FRANCISCO STRUGGLES - Will City College of San Francisco make the grade and keep its accreditation? The Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges has recommended fourteen controversial changes which include layoffs, financial reform, and campus closures. Friday is the deadline for the embattled college to turn in its report showing how the suggested reforms have been and will be implemented. SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY MUSICIANS STRIKE - SF Symphony musicians went on strike this week, putting an upcoming high profile tour to the East Coast in jeopardy. Without a contract since February, the union representing the performers says management's new proposals are not on par with comparable orchestras, like those in Los Angeles and Chicago. BUDGET CUTS TO CALIFORNIA COURTS - California's top judge, Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, made the case before state lawmakers this week to restore funding to the courts. More than $1 billion in cuts over the past five years has resulted in court closures, reduced hours and layoffs. Gov. Brown's budget this year would reduce court construction funds by $200 million. Guests: Andrea Koskey, San Francisco Examiner; Josh Richman, Bay Area News Group; Cy Musiker, KQED News. IRAQ WAR IN PICTURES - On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the American-led invasion of Iraq, an exhibit of photographs at the De Young Museum in San Francisco takes an intimate look at the impact of war on Iraqi citizens. From young boys rehearsing a play about martyrdom to men playing dominos at dusk, the images in "Eye Level in Iraq" offer a glimpse into everyday life as captured by photojournalists Kael Alford and Thorne Anderson. The museum's chief curator Julian Cox talks about the role of art and journalism and what he hopes viewers will take away from the exhibition.duration 26:46

Washington Week
[#5237H]
* President Barack Obama continued his "charm offensive" this week meeting with House Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill. While the president tried to broker a bipartisan budget deal, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan unveiled a new GOP budget proposal and Senator Patty Murray unveiled the Democratic blueprint. The reactions by both Democrats and Republicans: neither budget is likely to become law. So what will it take to bridge the partisan divide and reach a compromise? * Republicans are meeting just outside Washington this week for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Most of the focus will be about finding a way forward for the Republican Party. It will also be a chance for the rising stars of the party like Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul to rally support from conservative activists for their potential 2016 presidential runs. Also scheduled to speak at CPAC: Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, the NRA's Wayne LaPierre, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump and Mitt Romney. Joining Gwen Ifill to report on the uphill battle to reach a bipartisan budget deal, CPAC, and Organizing for Action (OFA), an Obama campaign organization turned advocacy group, and the role it is playing in promoting the president's second-term agenda: John Dickerson of Slate Magazine and CBS News, Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report, and Jeanne Cummings of Bloomberg News.duration 24:10

The Family Planning Fight ContinuesIn the two weeks since the sequester began and the effects are already being felt. One of the federal programs being cut is funding of family planning clinics - those serving primarily low-income and uninsured individuals. With $15 million in cuts slated to happen over the next year, things such as cancer screenings, testing for sexually transmitted infections, and reproductive health care services might suddenly be unavailable to more than 100,000 primarily low-income women across the country. Texas has already been down this road. In 2011, the state legislature slashed the budget for family planning services by $73 million dollars for 2012 and 2013. The result? More than 50 family planning clinics across the state closed. NTK's Mona Iskander traveled there last summer and filed this report. Anchor Scott Simon interviews Pam Belluck, a health and science writer for The New York Times, who looks at what's happening to these programs in other states. And from "American Voices," Judy Norsigian, one of the authors of "Our Bodies, Ourselves," provides an historical account of women's health policy debates over the past 40 years.duration 26:46

Harper Lee: Hey BooReading "To Kill a Mockingbird" has been a national pastime for five decades - it is still selling nearly a million copies a year, its classic popularity and power are a common reference. And the courtroom image of Gregory Peck, as the passionate Atticus Finch, gave us an enduring picture for the novel's message. Behind it all was a young Southern girl named Nelle Harper Lee, who once said she wanted to be Alabama's Jane Austen. This program explores her life and unravels its mysteries, particularly why she never published again. Illuminated with family photos, revealing personal letters and an exclusive interview with her sister, Alice Finch Lee (100 years old), the film is steeped in the texture of the novel's Deep South and the social changes it inspired. Tom Brokaw, Rosanne Cash, Anna Quindlen, Scott Turow, Oprah Winfrey and Andrew Young reflect on how "Mockingbird" shaped their lives.duration 1:25:46
